Saturn or Genesis? What's your take?

I've been wanting a Genesis for quite awhile now. But I'm just wondering if the Saturn would be better... What's your take on these two systems?

Wait...
WAIT...
Um... Don't get the Saturn before the Genesis. The Genny is like, 50 billion times better. The saturn gets props in its own way, but you can't put those 2 consoles next to each other. Needless to say, I have both. It is your choice, but I recommend getting a Genny WAY before a Saturn.

Well, i just got back into the genesis awhile ago. It would really depend on the games that garner your interest and whether or not graphics mean anything to you. I like both systems the same only because i have barely tapped into the Saturn market. The good games are really hard to come bye as a posed to the Genesis. Fighters are great on the system and so are shooters (Only have 1). The genesis market is booming with alot of mediocre to stellar action/adventure titles. Hope this helps some.

Start out with the Genesis and get the Saturn later on. The Genesis has tons of great, cheap games. The Saturn, not so much. Plus, it's a lot harder finding a reliable Saturn than it is finding a reliable Genesis.
If you want, I can set you up with a nice Genesis package quite cheap. PM me if you're interested.

I'd choose the Saturn if you've got a lot of money to spend, so you can play some of the really cool games.
If not then definately go for the Genesis cause there is tons worth playing there too, but for a fraction of the price.

Genesis, then Saturn.

Definitely
Genesis
.
1. Easier to find parts, controllers, accessories.
2. More reliable.
3. Many of the better games on the Saturn are sequels to Genesis games and it'd be in your best interest to beat and play those first before you move onto the Saturn sequels.
4. Games are cheaper and easier to find CIB if that's your thing.
5. Later on you can branch out to 32x, Master System and Sega CD games because with add-ons they are all playable on a Genesis.

As for the graphics comment you still want to stick with Genny.
I always preferred the beautiful 2d over the early 3d.

But if you want really stunning 2d then the saturn is the way to go.

I agree with what everybody here says, get the Genesis first.
I recommend getting both systems eventually though. The Saturn may have a smaller library of games but is still essential in a serious collection. And if you're not that focussed on CIB you can get them pretty cheap as well.

That's the kind of thing that causes collectors to burn out. Putting undue pressure to own systems they may or may not enjoy based on peer pressure and credibility.
I think if you define what systems should make up a "serious collection", you'd find very few here fit the bill as that would easily be 35-40 systems or more. Hell only 184 of 1126 collectors own

for the 2600!
